    It's nice to see a young person interested in ancestry and 'old' things, especially her granddad's.

    Lest we forget!
    They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
    Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
    At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
    We will remember them.

    Here's to the men of the Scottish Division
    From the time the world began.
    And here's to the Pipes and Drums as they march
    Each man to serve his Clan.
    Remember the Seaforths, the Camerons, the Argylls,
    The Black Watch, the Gordons with their cocky wee smiles,
    The Cameronians, The Royal Scots and the KOSB,
    The HLI, the Greys and the Bold Fusilier with a glint in his eee'.
    Think of their honours, in battles they have won,
    Think of the fathers, the brothers, the sons,
    Think of the scars that we cannot see,
    And the lands far away, that they have set free.
    Now Honour these men from the present to the past,
    With great pride in your heart and thoughts that will last.WRITTEN BY MYSELF IN ORDER TO REMEMBER OUR SOLDIERS.JBR JOCK.

    The bit where they recreated the sound at 20:11 was heart-wrenching. Lest we forget.

    My grandfather Angus Stanley Wallace was in the Seaforth Highlanders during WW1 & told me about his experiences once or twice when I was younger . This is a poem I wrote after going to the ' the field of flanders' museum in Belgium in 2004. 'The Trenches' Through the acrid smoke, the mud & the smell of death, the trenches, oh to be in England that green & pleasant land, sipping a cool beer by the green hills, the sea, the birdsong & the blue skies, with your love, here there is no sweet sound of natures fanfare, only the noise of gunfire & pain, this was once a green field now it's a grey muddy wasteland of living hell, why are we here, they said it would be over by christmas, explosions ringing in my ears, then a deathly silence all around & darkness, at peace now. written by Andrew Williams in feb '09.

    I am American. (33 yr old woman).... Both my grandfathers were veterans and I have a close friend who fought in infantry Irag. ..... Whenever I watch War documentaries where it is on the Americans I see in the comment section nothing but arguing, complaining, foul language, ignorant and immaturely baseless claims to outrageous opinions.... Seeing the comments under this and of all you among your fellow Scottish people is 1- shameful for me to see and hurtful because I wish America could do better and 2- respect for all of you

  • @warrenchambers4819

    That's the best ending to any documentary I have ever seen. Best place to put the pipes being played as I know I wouldn't have been able to see anything afterwards with blurry eyes. I hope people never forget the sacrifice made by so many in the First world war. 100yrs ago now and those men are all gone. It is now passed on to us to ensure there memory lives on. We must do a tremendous job of it, we can not let it be for nothing.

    @colesimmons6309 7 років тому +13

    I had heard it said that because of both the morale they raised in Scots and the fear they struck in the English, the pipes were considered weapons of war, and thus the pipers were still considered armed. The bravest of warriors.

    The British high command had learned nothing at all from Gettyburg, Fredricksburg and numerous frontal assaults on entrenched positions. That compounded by automatic weapons, repeating rifles and modern artillary. Sheer madness.

    Perhaps the scientific test should have been carried out on anyone other than officer trainees. In other words, those most likely to be motivated culturally by the bagpipes.
